Refreshments

Courtenay Cafe

The licensed Courtenay Cafe offers a range of light lunches, refreshments and delicious cream teas. We can seat up to 25 inside the Courtenay Cafe with additional seating in the Coach House as well as outdoor seating so that visitors can enjoy the Westcountry sunshine!

We offer a selection of sandwiches, light lunches and a homemade 'daily special' as well as speciality teas, coffees and cakes. We always have options on the menu to suit vegetarians too. For younger ones the children's lunchboxes are the popular choice, with a filled roll, packet of crisps, piece of fruit and a drink to satisfy their little appetites.

If you have a specific allergy please call us ahead of your visit or pop in when you arrive and we will do our best to cater for you.

The Cafe inside is cosy, but has a ramp to make it accessible to wheelchair users.

You are most welcome to bring your own picnic if you prefer and there are designated areas - by the lake or in the Walled Garden where you can relax and enjoy it. We would simply ask you not to feed the animals or birds.

About

Powderham Castle enjoys a unique, picturesque setting within an ancient deer park beside the Exe estuary, just south of Exeter. Over 600 years of history can be discovered within the walls of one of Devon's oldest family homes. Powderham came to the Courtenay family in the dowry of Edward I’s granddaughter, and her son, Sir Philip Courtenay, began building the Castle in 1391. It has remained in the family to this day, and recently became home to the new Earl & Countess of Devon, the 28th generation to move in. The magical setting and convenient location makes Powderham the perfect venue for your special event, be it a wedding or business function. For locals and visitors to Devon it is a 'must see' and with its many attractions - a wonderful family day out!
